Almost forgot to get off the train for this book

Some great condescendence towards the Westerners

Jiang I fucking love you, you absolute legend

'Mount Tianshan' is such a funny name as it literally translates to 'Mount Mountain of the Heavens'

Now normally I would read the book before watching the show, but Emma Meyers was quite a convincing reason to watch the BBC adaptation. Alas, here we are at the book anyways

I cannot help but read anything the Dragon Warlord says in the voice of Lars Mikkelsen's adaptation of Thrawn

Kuang really did her homework.. The latest chapter is just as disturbing as the real testimonies from comfort women and the survivors of Nanjing

"She found that she was fuelled by praise from her masters. Praise meant that she had finally, finally received validation that she was not nothing."

Rin is pretty relatable..

Historiography was mentioned :)

"We are most tempted by what we cannot have. Men will dream of the mountains they have yet to scale, the plains they have yet to conquer. They are told from birth everything belongs to them, and so when something does not, they view it as a personal challenge."

How wonderful is it that I can read my favourite book again but now related to a university course!

"Paris is a necessity in the world: If Paris did not exist, we would have to invent her."

It’s weird

'The Frozen Finger' really is peak gaslighting, but the realisation at the end is even better, or disturbing in a way

It was finally time to open this beautiful cover, and it has not disappointed.

"I do not need the silk to remember you"

The head is disturbing...
